How to Transfer iPhone Photos to Chromebook
If you have the iPhone and not the Mac, sharing files can be a little tricky. You may want to transfer photos from your iPhone to your Chromebook but failed to due to unreliable transfer methods.
There are a few simple methods for transferring your images. You can utilize cloud storage or sync directly through USB depending on your degree of connection with the Google ecosystem. The choice is yours!
Google Photos
Cloud synchronization is your best choice if you want to get your iPhone images on a Chromebook quickly and easily. Both Apple and Google have very popular Photos programs.
Because Apple does not make their Photographs app accessible for Android, you must rely on the Google solution to sync your photos to your Chromebook in the cloud through a third-party solution. All of your photographs will be accessible in the Photos app on your Chromebook if you just install the Photos app on your iPhone and opt to sync full-quality images. You may also use the Google Photographs web app to access all of your photos.
There are other cloud-based file sharing services as well such as OneDrive and Dropbox but Google Photos is the best option if you just want to share photos with your Chromebook.
Manual Transfer vis USB
If you prefer a manual method, just connect your iPhone to your Chromebook’s USB connection, grant permission on your iPhone when requested, and the ChromeOS Files app will display the picture data from your iPhone.
You may have to search a bit to find the folder holding images on your iPhone in the ChromeOS Files app. Once you’ve found the photographs you want to transfer, just drag and drop them to your Chromebook’s local storage. If you have a large number of images to transfer, as previously indicated, it’s also worth considering an external hard drive. Most Chromebooks offer 64GB to 128GB of storage, thus picture storage will be restricted unless you have a pretty high-end model.
That is pretty much it, pretty simple. It’s not necessary to be deeply involved in Apple’s ecosystem, there are always workarounds once you dig a little deep.
